The baseline survey covers four districts: Mafeteng, Mohale’s Hoek, Mokhotlong and Thaba-Tseka. The PBF is implemented in health centers managed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Christian Health Association of Lesotho (CHAL). In the catchment area of each health center, a sample of households was selected. Households were eligible to be included in the sample if they had a female member who was either recently pregnant or was an adolescent. The fieldwork was implemented by a local firm, Leads Services, from March to June 2015. The final sample included 53 health centers and 2120 households.
